Manchester Open Top Atlantean

[Multiple Unit]

Now last Sunday whilst on a Repalcement coach going into Manchester traveling through the swinton area of Manchester and althogh pooring down with rain in front of us was a Manchester Open Top Atlantean in Slenec Livery unfortionaltly i forgot to write the registration down to look it up.

It surprised me as I never thoght Manchester at any stage had any Open Top Buses at all it was didplaying 192 Hazel Grove on its destination Blinds so does anyone have any information on thi svehcle please.

GM Buses South would have run 192 Hazel Grove prior to being taken over by Stagecoach then GM Buses (UK North) ran against Stagecoach on that route more recently.

Thats the one I know GM buses ran the 192 but not so much with an Open Top Bus.

It was probably just given the same blind as the other GM buses so can show any route they operated.
